Pathway of the Median Nerve

Lateral and medial cords
No Innervation in arm
Exits medial to biceps tendon & brachial artery in cubital fossa

Passes between heads of pronator teres
Gives off AIN branch just distal to cubital fossa
Continues on anterior side of interosseous membrane to innervate deep
flexors -> (FDP, FPL, pronator quadratus)

Travels b/w superficialis & profundus to carpal tunnel & passes through carpal tunnel

Supplies lateral 2 lumbricals

Sensation via the common palmar digital branches & proper palmar digital braches (running w/ arteries)

Median Recurrent
To FPB (superficial head, opponens pollicis, abductor pollicis brevis

Pathway of Radial nerve

Come of posterior cord
With Profunda Brachi artery in radial groove
Innervates posterior compartment (triceps)
Emerges distally b/w brachioradialis & brachialis

Passes into cubital fossa laterally
Innervating brachioradialis & ECRL & divides into deep & superficial branch

Superficial branch
Continues under brachioradialis to radial side of wrist – supplies sensation to dorsal 3 ½ digits

Deep branch
Innervates ECRB & pierces supinator
After exiting supinator, name changes to PIN

PIN
Supplies posterior compartment of forearm & travels w/ posterior interosseous artery

Ulnar Nerve Pathway

Study These Flashcards

comes off medial cord
No innervation in arm
Passes medially &amp; then posterior to medial epicondyle
Travels under FCU
Innervates FCU &amp; medial ½ of FDP

Dorsal branch of ulnar nerve prior to wrist to supply dorsal skin of 5th & ½ 4th digit

Superficial branch & Deep branch after passing through Guyon’s canal

Superficial branch to skin

Deep branch to intrinsics, hypothenar eminence, medial 2 lumbricals, adductor pollicis, deep head FPB
digit

Musculocutaneous nerve path

Study These Flashcards

Comes off lateral cord
pierces corcobrachialis
passes anterior to brachialis and beep to biceps brachii
emerges laterally to biceps tendon as lateral cutaneous nerve
provides sensory innervation to the later aspect of forearm

Axillary nerve path

Study These Flashcards

comes off posterior cord

- exits axilla through quadrangular space
